Abstract:This article discusses the micromechanical properties and true microhardness determination of nanostructured tribological coatings (NTCs) based on a multilayered alternating nitride/carbonitride bilayer substructure for transition metals. The constituent nitride/carbonitride bilayers in the superlattice structure of the NTC were alloyed with refractory metals, denoted as Me = Me1 or Me2= Cr, Hf, Nb, W, and Zr. The resulting NTC coatings were deposited onto 100Cr6 steel substrates using an advanced physical vap… Show more
